Manage power

Use the information in this section to achieve the best balance between performance and power efficiency.

Check the battery status

The battery status icon
the current power plan, and access battery settings quickly.
Click the battery status icon to display the percentage of battery power remaining and change the power
mode. A warning message is displayed when the battery is low.

Charge the battery

When the remaining battery power is low, charge your battery by connecting your computer to ac power.
The battery is fully charged in about two to four hours. The actual charging time depends on the battery
capacity, the physical environment, and whether you are using the computer.
Battery charging is also affected by its temperature. The recommended temperature range for charging the
battery is between 10°C (50°F) and 35°C (95°F).
Note:
You can check the battery temperature in Lenovo Vantage or Lenovo PC Manager.
To maximize the life of the battery, once the battery is fully charged, it must discharge to 94% or lower
before it will be allowed to recharge again.
To extend your battery's lifespan, the battery may optimize its full charge capacity based on your usage.
After prolonged periods of limited use, full battery capacity may not be available until you discharge to as
low as 20% and recharge completely. For more information, refer to the power section of Lenovo
Vantage.

Power input through a USB-C port

The USB-C port on the rear side of your computer supports power input up to 20 V and 5 A. Some external
devices, such as a dock or display, may include a USB-C port that supports power output greater than 20 V
and 2.25 A. If such a device is connected to this rear USB-C port, it is capable of providing power to your
computer.
In another scenario, if you carry your computer around without the included ac power adapter, you may use
a capable USB-C charger to provide power through the rear USB-C port. In both scenarios, the output
power of a USB-C charger or the USB-C port on a dock or display should be at least 20 V and 2.25 A in order
